Marion Vander Veen

My heartfelt condolences to the family on your loss. Marion will be missed.

From all the Knapes,
Marion was a wonderful neighbor and friend. She contributed so much to our community. We are glad we knew her. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you, especially her 3 sons, Rich, Larry, and Paul.
Love, Herb, Glenna, and Betsy

I'm a current member of the Tri Sigma Omicron Chapter and I am very honored to be connected to such an incredible woman. I'm so very sorry for your loss and sending you all love. Her good deeds will live on forever!

I am very fortunate to have known Marion, Dick, and their three sons for all of my 62 years of life. Having her and Dick as my godparents was a privilege and I will miss her as I miss Dick. She mentioned on several occasions my good fortune marrying Eleanor and that meant a lot to me. For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing her, look no further than her children for living expressions of her kindness and wisdom. For many years when we would visit her, she kept us up-to-date as she...

I had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time at the Vander Veen home in East Grand Rapids from 1969 to 1973, and a brief period in the summer of 1974 in Washington DC. Mrs. Vander Veen was always kind and gracious, soft spoken and generous. I will always remember her with great respect and affection.

A special person of quiet grace. She will be missed and remembered.

A most charming and knowledgeable lady as well as the heart of a great family. My condolences to Rich and his brothers.

Marion's laugh and easy charm were sure to light up anyone's day. Hoping her joy and energy for life fills yours as you remember her.
